Oftentimes, we'll see robots that set off alarm bells about the indefatigable automatons coming for you, step by step by step by step. But this 'lil guy is not the face of the robot apocalypse.

NBC News reports a Chinese-built robot has set a new record for longest distance covered by a quadruped robot by walking about 83 miles, non-stop. Xingzhe No. 1, which means "walker" in Chinese, was a research project from Chongqing University of Post and Telecommunication looking into improving robot durability and efficiency.

The robot performed its record-breaking saunter with 1,405 laps around an indoor gymnasium over the course of three days, all on a single battery charge. That beats the previous record, held by Cornell University's Ranger, of about 40.5 miles.
